    Summer Wheel recommendations.

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hello,

    First post, so be gentle.

    I recently picked up a '13 S4 with three pedals and have loved every mile so far. I bought it with 85k miles, and the car is in fantastic shape.

    It currently has new Michelin Pilotsport A/S tires on it (thanks dealer) so I'm in no rush, but was wanting to hear some recommendations on a good brand of wheels. I plan to run the stock 10-spoke wheels in the winter and get a nice set for summer rubber. I'm looking for brands of wheels that are going to be nice and solid, but aren't gonna cost 3 months salary each. I'm not looking for anything too race-y looking or over the top flashy. Just nice classy looking wheels that wont explode in a pothole.

    Any brands you fine Audi enthusiasts can recommend? I would like to spend ~$200 per wheel, but less would be preferable.

    Thank you

    personally i think the audi rotors are one of the cleanest looking wheels you can get for our cars. solid OEM+ look.

    Yep, love my rotors. An added bonus is that they are brake dust colored.

    based on your target price, you'll probably have to stick with 18/19s. check the classified section.. you might find something there.

    Thank you, that's mostly what I was looking for, just respectable brands that aren't for boy racers or guys with big wing Huracans

    Cheap audi wheels usually = heavy wheels. Im more of an HRE or Vorsteiner enthusiast. But they are more like $400-500 per wheel but wheels can go for much more. Overall I think flow formed wheels are best if not racing and much lighter than cast aluminum wheels.
